32mm f/10 is exactly the same as the lens used in Kodak Funsaver disposables, i wouldn't be surprised if this company was sourcing them from the same place. I've made my own from bodycaps and getting free used disposables from my local film lab, after watching a Mathieu Stern video on it, and it's a fun little thing to play around with, probably more so for video. I will say some will still hate the price, but if you had to buy all the tools and the disposable to make your own, it would be in the $30-40 range anyway, so this commercial offering is a fair price in my opinion.
That’s interesting insight on the disposable camera lenses! Yah, you would be hard pressed to make something of the same quality and finish, for that price.
How would it be more than 30$ when a disposable camera is 10$ and the plastic piece from a 3D printer (most people know someone who has one) is cents in value 🤔
@@sensenmann3000 because that’s not what you’re getting here. It’s two peace, injection moulded, and the lens element has a proper retention ring. Yea, you could mess around and get something with similar functionality, and for some that would be fun, but the finish and implementation will not be the same.
I superglued a 52mm-82mm step up ring onto it (the base fits straight into the pattern) - so now i can attach filters (mostly in my case IR filters for full spectrum photography)
I just bought this, despite a “no more lenses” promise to myself. It sounds like fun, and it’s not much more than a trip to the Indian buffet. It’s also probably cheaper than a Canon body cap…. Try it out, then use it as a neat body cap if you don’t like it as a lens.
My Canon M50 was stolen a year ago when visiting San Francisco, I bought a Sony to replace it and this is the first lens I bought. Tickled pink to see you reviewing this lens. It's great for training composition as you called out in this video.
When I saw these oreo lenses I was sick with envy. Because at the time, they weren't available in sony E mount. Anyways one day they popped up and I got mine, I've took some of my best pictures with it. It's just amazing! It makes your camera into a pocket street camera, it takes (potentially) great photos, it's just ridiculously cheap, and crazy cool. Pure fun, epic value. As long as you keep a normal lens for evening/night, as, due to the narrow aperture it suffers in poor light.
Limitations enhance creativity for sure. I don't have much gear, but I usually get my best results when I go out with a single small prime - usually my Viltrox 40mm! I want their 28mm pancake, it's a bit faster and sharper than this, but not as cheap (still under $100)
This is a perfect lens for Fun. When I am shooting events,mostly sports, I normally have my work camera/cameras tucked safely in my backpack until needed, but my trusty Fuji Sex-E1 is out and ready to take fun people shots. This Oreo will fit nicely with the google eyes on the X-E1 and I’m sure we’ll hopefully give great goofing around s pictures.
Thanks for ‘pointing’ out this lens. I will try the Nikon Z to try on the street and more - wish I could be back in the alley in Melbourne again to see what new art has been painted. Cheers and thanks!!!
WOW! As someone who's more inclined to art and "street" photography, this looks very impressive! Thanks for the reload, as I skipped the last thumbnail.
I bought one for my Sony. It is fun to play around with, which is always a motivator to get out and shoot. The pictures are actually not that bad. Probably because my expectations weren't really that high. I think I paid $12 for it plus shipping.
I like the fact that this bring the fun to photography. I have Samsung phone that take amazing pictures, but cameras are more fun to use, getting perfect pictures is not what I'm after anyways.
I'm curious about this lens on full frame, something the video doesn't discuss much. In particular, since the lens has a fixed f/10 aperture, wouldn't the greater dynamic range of a full frame body help offset the small aperture of the lens? Particularly help to reduce blown highlights or crushed shadows.
Mark says it does project to a full frame with vignetting. I know when I use adapted APSC lenses, I get hard circular vignetting. Sometimes I keep it, sometimes I shoot in APSC mode. It’s nothing but a crop if you’re using the same camera. I notice vintage lenses tend to have a little less dynamic range than modern lenses, which makes it easier to keep everything in the middle of the histogram, so one could assume that a cheaply made vintage aesthetic lens might do the same. Your question boils down to pixel size more than anything, bigger pixels will offer more dynamic range, so if you went from a same megapixel small to full frame, you would see some minor dynamic range improvement. I shoot APC and full frame and that’s not a significant driver in my camera choice, lens construction has much more to do with the registered dynamic range in my experience. So my guess is, yeah, sure you might get a little improvement going to full frame, but the lens likely delivers “lower than typical” dynamic range to begin with.
Kinda out of topic. Ttartisan 27mm AF 2.8 just arrived 4 hours ago. I havent seriously tested it but in my initial test in my room, the auto focus is kinda bad. What is wrong? Pair it with Sony A6400
There seems to be a lot of sample variation with that one. Mine is fairly decent and quiet but some people apparently got poor focussing loud lenses. I do exclusively photos, no idea how it works with video.
thank you for another great video on yet another unique lens🤘love the colour bleed and double edges it creates.. and the center seems almost sharp so a real useful look
Since mirrorless cameras have pretty similar flange distances (around 20mm), it's easy to adjust everything by changing the mount ring thickness by a couple of mm. Nikon F however has a massive 46.5mm flange distance, so they would need to produce an entirely different lens for that. I wouldn't hold my breath.
@@alibarancelik8903 I know, and Canon FD/FL distance is 42mm, Canon EOS is 44mm. Me, personally do not ever want to use mirrorless. Maybe someone knows something similar to the OREO lens, but, like stated, for Nikon F...
There are a handful of body cap style lenses for F-mount, but you are going to find they are in the 45mm or longer. Pinholes and zone plate caps that are lensless are choices that have been around a long time. Most of the variants I have seen for F-mount, can't use the plastic lenses from disposable cameras, but the lenses from "toy" cameras like Diana or Holga are an option. A Holga 60mm f8-ish option is out there.
This is a Fuji QuickSnap disposable camera lens, which imo is "better" (sharper) than the Kodak Funsaver 30mm F10 alternative. The only issue I've found in adapting these plastic lenses is that the original disposable camera bodies had a curved film back, to negate some of the inherent distortion of these single element lenses. So you will notice the image quickly falls apart in the corners and the LOCA gets really bad, because this was supposed to be corrected by the camera itself, which obviously can't be recreated. Now, that doesn't really matter because it's not like you are buying this for perfect image quality lol, you are getting it for the vintage film vibes that you can recreate, the price, and the casual nature of shooting it. It's to be creative and have fun, and it definitely provides that! I think if someone were looking for a more modern rendering but still the disposable camera experience and field of view, with a similar size and cost to this, I'd also recommend at the 7Artisans 18mm F6.3 Mk II
I have my Oreo on my proudly Canon M50 M2 its a really funny lens! By the way I have a question , for night street shooting what is the highest ISO I can use on my Canon R50 producing acceptable images without compromising the quality of the picture?
หลายเดือนก่อน +2
Go out and try, then see what you think is acceptable. I know 6400 is borderline unusable on Canon's older 18MP APS-C sensor, so I always had auto ISO set to max 3200. On my 20MP Nikon APS-C, I go up to 8000 comfortably, and up to 10000 if I _really_ need another 1/3 step. That said, modern denoise programs, especially those with AI, like from Topaz or DXO, are an amazing tool to enable night photography. A lot of this has to do with whether you are willing to sacrifice print size, if you print. If you don't, then just don't zoom in and pixel peep. For an Instagram post viewed on an iPhone, even basic color noise removal is usually good enough.
I like it. I could have used that the other day. I used my front camera on my phone to make something look like camcorder footage but this might have been a lot better.
I love giving myself artificial limitations so that I have to try a little bit harder and rely on returning to basics! ($20-30 bucks in photographer math means its pretty much free!) I'm also looking at that Oreo and imagining it on my tiny nex 5n... that rig would so small it just might fit in my front jeans pocket!

Hi Mark, your link for the 'Fuji' goes to a page for Sony E Mount. Can you send/post the right link?

i made mine with cardboard and tons of electric tape because i couldn't find a lens cap for my sony, really fun to play with
You are 100% correct.
"OREO STYLE KEKS LENS (REIMAGINED)
Keks Lens is a lens recycled from a disposable camera and transformed into a body cap lens."

3:15 Totally agree. Getting great image by using cheap gear is much more satisfying.

does this mean if i buy one for my m43, it's equivalent to 64mm f20? 😅
At APS-C the minimum "focus" should be about 9 feet. The hyper-focal distance 18.25 feet.

Great review...I plan on getting the
Viltrox 28/4.5 Chip for Sony.
I have this on my NEX-3N and it is the smallest APS-C setup I can get for those 'vintagey' photos
I like it. I could have used that the other day. I used my front camera on my phone to make something look like camcorder footage but this might have been a lot better.
Hi Dear Teacher
Thanks for your Teaching
I see you in TH-cam
Please tell us that 28mm af lens is coming out for Fuji X mount.
I am sworn to secrecy, but if I wasn't, I would say yes.
It's like playing with a 1000$ guitar on a 20$ amp you bought at a garage sale 😂😂
Looking forward to you getting your hands on the Polar Pro LightLeak series of lens.
I just sent them a message, thanks for the heads up!
have you tried the Polar Pro Light Leak Lens? it looks like the same thing but I wonder if its sharper
No, but did hear about it, will look into it.
I love giving myself artificial limitations so that I have to try a little bit harder and rely on returning to basics! ($20-30 bucks in photographer math means its pretty much free!) I'm also looking at that Oreo and imagining it on my tiny nex 5n... that rig would so small it just might fit in my front jeans pocket!
I have the pocket dispo lens, very fun
whats the name of the lens though?
It actually has no name, no brand either.
Oreo 😋
In my basket…. Just ready to klick ”pay”. I love ”toy”-lens that tickle my creativity.
Me too.
I wish they'd do these for F mount. I presume there must be some reason they can't, but it's annoying. I want to play with the fun silly teeny lens!
I want to shoot a 150 million dollar budget motion picture with this lens!
Aw geez I love seeing my favourite city in your videos. ❤
Chris Niccols from PetaPixel uses Nocts (Nikon) as a comparator for lens weight. Are you going to use Oreo Cookies from now? 😂
I would become overweight very quickly. I know, I know, I could just do the math, but I wouldn't.
I have this, and am anxiously awaiting the cine version. 😁
I didn't even finish the video before I ordered one. Items happen to go out of stock after you post.
hmmm its 60 AUD on that link..
Wish they had a plain no Oreo version
Is it wrong of me to see this and think - "perfect gimbal lens for an m50"?
Brand: Generic 🤣
